Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. what is the question? probably solve for x. okay.
step 2. 4^(2x) + 1 = 4
step 3. 4^(2x) = 3 subtract 1 from each side
step 4. ln4^(2x) = ln3 take on of each side
step 5. 2xln4 = ln3 definition of logs
step 6. 2x = ln3/ln4 divide both sides by ln4
step 7. x = ln3/2ln2^2 divide both side by 2 and replace 4 with 2^2
step 8. x = ln3/4ln2.
You are not correct. Here's an explanation as to why: First of all, the triangle is isosceles, since it has two congruent sides that leads to the conclusion of two congruent angles, one opposite each side. This means that all three angle measurements of the triangle are x degrees, x degrees, and 40 degrees. To solve for x, add all three values together and set them equal to 180 degrees, the sum of three angles in any triangle. Your mistake is adding only one x to 40, which isn't inclusive of all three triangles. I hope this helped!
The answer is A) <span>Increasing: x < 7; decreasing: x > 7</span>
